We are all strategists. That is, we set goals, navigate threats, and tap opportunities. We leverage our resources and implement decisions and actions to reach our goals. Sometimes we succeed and sometimes we fail.   (Adapted from Figure 1.1, Grant, 2022, p. 7) Please share an experience in which you played the strategist. What was your goal? Did the goal fit (or not fit) with the realities of the external environment and your resources? What implementation decisions and efforts did you make? Was your strategy successful or not? Why? Did strategy execution (i.e., implementation, monitoring, and control) play a key role in your strategy’s success or failure?
